Whether it be advocacy, workshops, mentoring, webinars or creating opportunities for students, service to some of the world’s most essential visual storytellers is our priority but we could use your help. This Giving Tuesday, take some time today or through this season of giving to donate to efforts that support journalism and visual storytelling. We’d love your support and encourage anyone to give through the link in our bio or just take time to learn about who we are and learn about today’s challenges in the global visual storytelling community. Thank you!

Tear gas and pepper spray can disable you in seconds. If you can’t see or breathe, you can’t avoid the next hazard, much less work your assignment.
The most likely respiratory hazard while covering protests and civil unrest is chemical exposure: CS and CN tear gas, pepper spray and smoke.
A full-face respirator with a CS/CN/P100 canister provides the best protection against that hazard. One sealed unit covers your eyes, nose and mouth. The canister filters riot-control agents and 99.97 percent of airborne particles. A half mask or N95 leaves your eyes open to gas.
Colleagues requiring prescription glasses should look for a mask accepting of “prescription inserts” (photo 2 & 3).
Check your gear!
✅ Check for certification: Canister should be marked CS/CN and P100. Keep it sealed until needed and replace it after exposure
✅ Facial hair breaks the seal. Shave before the assignment
✅ Seal check every time you put it on, and practice getting it on fast
✅ Carried in a bag, but where you can reach it in quickly.
One more thing. Many full-face respirators carry no impact rating on the face shield. They protect you from gas, not from a projectile. Check the spec sheet before you count on your mask as eye protection.
Journalist safety isn’t about “what worked that one time on one assignment.” It’s about science, occupational health and safety standards, government regulations, and industry best practices.
This is part 3 of 5 in our protest and civil unrest PPE series. Follow along for the rest of the kit.

According to data at the @uspresstracker , less-lethal munitions employed by law enforcement, rocks, bottles, and other thrown objects were the leading cause of head injuries suffered by journalists while covering protests and civil unrest in the last decade.
An ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 Type II helmet provides the best protection against that hazard. Type II means there helmet is rated to protect against top and side impact.
Check you gear!
✅ Check for certification: Label should read ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 Type II
✅ Chin strap fitted and fastened
✅ Fits with your eye protection and respirator
✅ Any hard hit, even with no visible damage, requires a new helmet.

Old-school film photos I’ve taken this fall of New England VIPs, including my @nbc10boston & @telemundoni colleagues 🎞️
📷: Canon EOS 650 - released in 1987
Films I used: a few Kodak rolls, Cinestill 50D, one roll of Polaroid “Presentation Chrome” that expired in 1994, and some Fujifilm 400 I bought at CVS! Scans by @lumentation.

A similar bill was introduced in the Senate in December of 2025. Full statement here:

The National Press Photographers Association strongly condemns the brutal assault on veteran photojournalist Heidi Levine, who was attacked by Israeli settlers on October 16 while covering the Palestinian olive harvest and settler violence in the West Bank.
Levine was clearly identified as a member of the press when she was knocked to the ground, repeatedly beaten, and robbed of her equipment. She suffered serious injuries requiring hospitalization. We are deeply concerned for her well-being and wish her a full and speedy recovery.
“This assault was outrageous. No journalist should have to fear being beaten, threatened, or attacked simply for documenting events of public concern,” said NPPA President Alex Garcia. “Visual journalists serve an essential role in showing the world what is happening, particularly in places where violence and conflict make independent reporting both dangerous and indispensable. An attack on a journalist doing that work is also an attack on the public’s right to know about current events.”
This assault is especially disturbing given the reported recent attacks on other journalists covering events in the West Bank, including Palestinian photojournalists whose work is equally deserving of protection. Such violence must not be tolerated, regardless of who commits it or where it occurs.
NPPA joins other calls for the Israeli authorities to conduct a prompt, thorough, and transparent investigation, hold those responsible accountable, and determine whether security forces at the scene took appropriate steps to prevent or stop the violence. Authorities must take meaningful steps to protect journalists and ensure they can carry out their work without intimidation or violence.
NPPA stands with Heidi Levine and with all visual journalists who risk their health and safety to document events of vital public importance. We must respect and protect press freedom and the right to report everywhere.
